How to proceed offering someone a website?

Hello, i was wondering how you offer someone a website, lets say you have built a website for someone, and they pay you for your service. How do you go from there?

Do you upload it to a webhost and buy a domain yourself? or do you let the customer do it?

And if the customer is standing for the web host client, do you ask for ftp login, so you can update the website or change anything, if the customer does not know how to code?

Anyone that can tell about their procedure and experience about this?

Kind Regards.

In my experience as a freelancer, this is going to vary from customer to customer. Sometimes they will not have anyone who knows how to do this stuff for them, so you may end up doing it all. Other times, they will have someone that at least knows how to manage the hosting, and you just pass off the files to them once you are done (if you are not already sharing them). Each customer/client is going to be different...just make sure you have it all decided ahead of time, so everyone knows their part.
